National Trust Cymru is set to host a range of Halloween half-term activities.
Families can enjoy a variety of events at Erddig Hall, Chirk Castle, Plas Newydd House, Bodnant Garden, and Penrhyn Castle in North Wales.
Most activities will begin on October 26, with normal admission fees applying.
At Erddig Hall and Garden, families can take part in harvest-themed games such as wheelbarrow racing, digging for gourds, and corn tossing until November 3.
Children can also participate in a harvest craft session on October 28 or 30, making mini scarecrows or trying leaf printing.
For those seeking outdoor adventure, Nestlings Forest School offers 'spooky crafts and woodland fun' on October 29 and 31.
Chirk Castle and Garden will test visitors' bravery with a knights’ challenge and a self-led medieval monster-themed adventure.
A Halloween workshop on October 26 and 30 will allow children to craft their own spooky monsters using clay and natural materials.
Storyteller Jake Evans will also be sharing his 'enchanting tales' in this medieval fortress on October 28 and 31.
Bodnant Garden in Conwy is celebrating its 150th anniversary since the Bodnant Estate was purchased by Victorian industrialist Henry Pochin, and the 75th anniversary since Henry McLaren, 2nd Lord Aberconway, donated it to the National Trust.
A 'Big Birthday Bash' is planned, running from October 19 to November 3, with outdoor party games, activities, and a trail of special birthday boxes to find and open.
Visitors can leave their own special message for Bodnant Garden on a big birthday card under Laburnum Arch.
For those with a taste for adventure, Plas Newydd House and Garden offers an exploration of its grounds, including spotting red squirrels and climbing up to the treehouse.
Penrhyn Castle and Garden, set on the Menai Straits with views of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Great Orme, is another venue for family fun.
All these activities aim to provide a fun-filled autumn experience for families, combining adventure, creativity, and history.
